Design and safety analysis of Ultra-long Cycle Fast Reactor (UCFR)

  • Design of primary & secondary systems of UCFR – Thermal-hydraulic design of primary system (flow and temperature conditions) and optimized design of energy conversion system (nitrogen Brayton cycle) of UCFR
  • Design of passive safety system for UCFR – Design of passive residual heat removal system using liquid gallium for safety enhancement
  • Safety analysis of UCFR – Thermal-hydraulic analysis of UCFR in steady state operation and Deterministic safety analysis of UCFR in transient, along with Probabilistic safety analysis
